For those young readers of mine that don't know what the title quote means, it is a famous quote used by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in some of his more famous movies (Terminator, etc.). Yes, he was an actor in many famous action flicks! Anyway, to my point; There is a new device called a robot soldier, Robocop (another movie), or Terminator, that I think is a great idea! It will take police out of harms way. The device is a robot that is armed with a taser. This way, the person that is out of control could be subdued without putting police officers in danger. The device itself does not make the decisions on when to fire, and such, but a human with a remote like control, would be. Having something that can keep a human from getting injured or killed is, in my opinion, a very important step in the development of civilization.
The robot soldiers could be set up to use more dangerous weapons. They mentioned in the article, that down the road, "Robocops" could be hi-tech enough to be able to make the decision on whether or not to use lethal force. I am not sold on this idea yet but the current robot is a definite improvement on what we have now. How many lives could be saved?
